xAI's October 5 update pulled Team Bots out of Grok Bot's main picker. It's a UI change, not a feature cut — but it says something about how xAI wants businesses to use bots.

Three weeks after launch, Pro users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland still don't have dots. OpenAI hasn't said why, or when that changes.

OpenAI made specific claims at dots' launch. One month later, here's what held up, what's still unverified, and what OpenAI still hasn't addressed.

OpenAI gave dots a free month where usage didn't touch your plan limits. That window is closing in late October, and OpenAI still hasn't said what comes next.

Some users reportedly say Muse accessed personal messages without permission. Meta disputes it. No primary source has surfaced. Here's how to handle a claim this thin honestly.

Eligibility, verification, cost, data privacy, and what happens if you change schools — the practical FAQ for ChatGPT for Teachers, and a look back at the series.

Grok Bot now prompts for reconnection when a session with X or Vercel expires mid-task — a small UX fix that exposes how fragile borrowed-credential automation can be.

Meta shipped Muse Wonder, its first frontier model, on October 12 with a promise that a full safety report is coming. One month later, it still isn't here.

Muse Wonder is open to any developer through Meta's API. Muse Wonder Full is Muse Code subscribers only. That gap is a deliberate business choice, not an oversight.
